What to do when a cold engine is hard to start

Starting a car with a cold engine can be very
difficult sometimes and it can become a real obstacle for those who
live surrounded by extremely cold weathers. This way, for all those who
might experience this problem it is not only important to learn how to
overcome it but also why it happens in order to be able to prevent it
as much as possible as well.
Cold engines might experience problems at the time to start due to
different reasons. One of these reasons can be based on the effect
which cold has on liquids evaporation. When it is cold, gasoline
evaporates less and this cause it to be more difficult to burn due to
the fact that it is burnt when it is evaporated.
Another reason by which a cold engine might have problems to start is
caused by the fact that oil becomes much thicker in cold than the way
it is in hot. Oil, like any other liquid changes its consistency when
it is exposed to very low temperatures as well as it changes back when
it is in a very hot weather, and this might cause oil to have problems
at the time of circulating in the car engine.
Besides the engine, car batteries might experience problems while being
in cold weathers as well and this could affect the engine. Batteries
function through chemical reactions which loose agility while being
cold and therefore, in such circumstances, batteries don't function
properly. When this happens, the car energy becomes affected and this
causes problems for the engine start.
If these three problems happen together, starting an engine might
become a really hard task to achieve. In order to overcome the lack of
gasoline evaporation problem, you can spray ether into the engine which
would evaporate quickly and help the engine start. Besides this, you
can also to prevent having oil too thick which wouldn't circulate
properly by using thin synthetic oils. You should also try to maintain
the car isolated from cold as much as possible, but by using the two
last mentioned methods you would experience much less problems at the
time of staring the car in cold weather.
